gen-lcs

    Generates a host linker script that can be passed to host linker manually, in the case where host linker is invoked separately outside of nvcc. This option can be combined with -shared or -r option to generate linker scripts that can be used while generating host shared libraries or host relocatable links respectively.

    The file generated using this options must be provided as the last input file to the host linker.

    The output is generated to stdout by default. Use the option -o filename to specify the output filename.

A linker script may already be in used and passed to the host linker using the host linker option --script (or -T), then the generated host linker script must augment the existing linker script. In such cases, the option -aug-hls must be used to generate linker script that contains only the augmentation parts. Otherwise, the host linker behaviour is undefined.

A host linker option, such as -z with a non-default argument, that can modify the default linker script internally, is incompatible with this option and the behavior of any such usage is undefined
